Principal Investigator(s):United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census

Summary:

The 1980 American Indian supplementary file provides
information on the American Indian, Eskimo, and Aleut populations
beyond that obtained from the regular 1980 census questionnaire. The
questionnaire was used on all federal and state reservations and in the
historic areas of Oklahoma (excluding urbanized areas) to obtain
information about the unique living conditions present on many
reservations and in those specified areas of Oklahoma. Population items
from the supplementary questionnaire include: tribal affiliation,
educational attainment, ... (more info)

The 1980 American Indian supplementary file provides

questionnaire was used on all federal and state reservations and in the
historic areas of Oklahoma (excluding urbanized areas) to obtain
information about the unique living conditions present on many
reservations and in those specified areas of Oklahoma. Population items
from the supplementary questionnaire include: tribal affiliation,
educational attainment, health services received, occupation, work
history, benefits received, and income. Housing items include: source
of water, source of heat, kitchen facilities, telephone, electrical

Universe:
All persons living in households with one or more American
Indians, Eskimos, or Aleuts on reservations identified for the 1980
Census and in historic areas of Oklahoma (excluding urbanized areas).

Data Types:
survey data

Data Collection Notes:

The file comprises two types of records: housing and
persons. Data are recorded for 12,949 households and 50,265 persons
with a total of 63,214 records in the file. Subsample numbers have been
assigned to each case so that subsamples of various sizes may be drawn
from the data set. The data contain alphabetic and blank codes.

Methodology

Sample:
Five out of every six housing units on reservations or in
historic areas of Oklahoma that received a short census form were
included in the original supplementary questionnaire sample. A
stratified systematic procedure with probability proportional to the
sample weight of the householder was used to select this ten-percent
public use microdata sample. The sampling elements were the occupied
housing units including all occupants.
